if you remember about this time last year, we were deep into debt deficits. we had come off of the debt ceiling, sort of fake crisis manufactured by the republicans and congress and they did change that discussion. because we're in a political season, i don't know if much came of that as far as policy changes but i think that they have -- you can talk about the 99% and the 1% now. people know what you're talking about. i think over time, that consciousness may have an impact on how we move forward as a country. >> bill: no doubt about it. they raise the issue of income and equality. now we're not talking about it as much anymore although mitt romney was talking about it, right? you're right. people now know the 99% and the 1%, they know what it means. they know it's real and it is interesting. we have two presidential candidates, one is fighting for the 99. the one only cares about the 1%. he just proved it in this video. always good to you have here, judd. >> thank you. >> bill: thinkprogress.org. i'll be back to tell you what our leader is up to today. >> a

burdens would stay the same for the rich and would go down for the middle class all without raising the deficit. while even conservative economists cannot make those numbers add up. martin feld stein of the national bureau for economic research finds romney's new tax rates would cost trillions of dollars. closing tax loopholes will not pay for that. he would need to get rid of middle class deductions which then effectively raises middle class rates. that study confirms a finding from the tax policy center earlier this year. another new study is finding women are making less than men in 97% of congressional districts. that comes from the national partnership for women and families and it means there are only 13 districts in this entire country where women and men are being paid equally. some of the nation's worst districts for women's pay come from louisiana and virginia where women are making just more than 60 cents for every dollar a man earns. more bill press coming up live after the break. stay with us. we have a big, big hour and the i.q. will go way up. how are you ever going to solve the
